The final touches are being applied to the new fire station for the Western Springs Fire Department in MABAS Division 10. Station 2 was mentioned HERE, and the photos below by Scott Peterson show that from the exterior everything is nearing completion. The station should be open roughly a month from now and will house two engines. Engine 1721 (formerly) Engine 1711, and Engine 1722 (formerly Engine 1712) will move into this station.

Just FYI, the station has been moved in to and has been operational for about a week. Engines 1711 and 1712 have been re-numbered 1721 and 1722 respectively. The dedication is the 17th of this month.

The first photo caption reads “Western Springs Station 1…” that should be “Station 2”.
